[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disliked the series.  Didn't like the way it was shot, too dark, sound too muddled, quick flashes of things that were important but even paused couldn't be made out.  The flashbacks were difficult to follow since it was hard to tell what younger characters were the current characters, also most of them were not needed.  The mother, Adora, should have only been about 50 years-old, the actress looked mid-60's or older.  Amma also seemed too old to be a 13-year old.

I do think the sheriff & his friends raped Adora as a teen (the football team ritual) and could be Camille's father.  Adora doesn't strike me as the type to be involved in a sexual affair relationship, she is too prim & proper for that.  Adora may not have seen the rape for what it was, more of a town tradition like the confederate flags & Calhoun day, so maintained a "friendship" with the sheriff which allowed her to manipulate her.

I knew by the second episode I was going to be annoyed by the ending and was.   The series should have left out some of the plot lines (often done when books are made into movies) to flesh out the parts that really did matter.  Didn't read the book, but probably would like it better since I didn't mind most of the story. [/quote]

The sheriff was one of the rapists?? Was that alluded to?[/quote]
